This doesn't work as intended as you can not leave a review comment on lines that are not modified in the PR. Due to this limitation, this action can potentionally have undesired results.

action-git-diff-suggestions

This GitHub Action will take the current git changes and apply them as GitHub code review suggestions. This is useful to run after running a linter or formatter that automatically makes fixes for you.

Note: This only works on pull_request workflow events!

Usage

See the Sentry repo for real world examples.

Inputs

input	required	description
github-token	no	The GitHub Actions token e.g. secrets.GITHUB_TOKEN
message	highly recommended	This is string used in the review comment before the suggestion. It is also used to find previous comments to be deleted when the action is re-run. This should be named according to the workflow job so that multiple jobs don't delete each other's reviews.
